Steps to reproduce:

The new in-content prefs list appropriate shortcut keys (<alt>P to go to "Saved Passwords" from the Security tab, for example), but they don't work.



Actual results:

Nothing, or the wrong action.


Expected results:

Shortcut keys must also be unique: for example, on the General tab, the "B" in "Use Bookmark" is indicated, but <alt>B invokes the Bookmarks menu from the menu bar. Selection of shortcut keys must always be tested to verify that they're actually available.

This is because the preferences are no longer in a separate window.

To use these, you have to add the Shift key to the shortcut. For example, use <alt+shift>B to trigger the "Use Bookmark" action.

Using both shift and alt keys together is clumsy and very undesirable. It that is the price one has to pay then making prefs in-content is not worth it. Using a combination of three keys is a usability bug. May be I should raise this objection in a fresh new bug report until this is resolved.
